El Aprendizaje de Shannon

So, I've been wanting to do some word art for a long time (after seeing some Wordle work on my friend's blog), and I wanted to do it with some of the words I've learned in Spanish from reading Harry Potter. I had WAY too much fun learning words from reading Harry Potter, and I think I can owe a lot of that to reading all the books WITHOUT a dictionary. I didn't look up a single word (well, maybe ONE). I just wanted to read for fun, and if I didn't know a word, I'd just check out the context and then skip it (thank you, 6th grade English for teaching me about context clues!). So by the end, words that I used to have no idea about started to kind of make sense. I owe a lot to este chico Harry Potter, I love it when, say, someone says "Hey, that passport applicant, did he come back in?" And I say "Oh, the one with the limp?" [Internal dialogue -- "Wait, how do I know how to say 'limp?' Oh yeah, Mad Eye Moody, book 4!"] So exciting! I love learning languages, and right now I'm trying to decide if I'd like to learn another language next or go spanish-speaking again and keep working on it. Or go English speaking -- I mean, how could I complain if I got sent to New Zealand, say? But I won't get the list-of-possibilities until August or September, so until then.....I'll just keep enjoying el ESPANOL!!! :) Here's my list of favorite words and phrases from La Serie de Harry Potter!
